[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1917875, member: 204485"] Alwyn, assuming you can download from the App Store okay then the first thing I would do is download the macOS Monterey Installer if you haven't already. Erase your SSD at the root level using Disk Utility then name (maybe Macintosh HD 2), format (APFS), and map it (GUID). Use CCC's Legacy Bootable Clone method to create a full bootable copy of your current internal drive. Boot your device from that then use the Monterey Installer (which will have copied across) to upgrade the SSD to macOS Monterey. The result [I]should[/I] be a complete, upgraded, bootable copy of your internal drive. All this assumes you have enough room for a full clone of your internal drive on the 1TB SSD. Personally I would prefer an external SSD HD for this task like the Samsung T5 with a Thunderbolt connection rather than USB-A but this may cost you more than replacing the internal drive. I think the screen shot you posted may have something to do with that. [/QUOTE]
